I am so sorry for your loss. The Bible contains many comforting scriptures to help us deal with the loss of a loved one. Acts 24:15 tells us that the dead will be resurrected. Also the Bible tells us that Jehovah will put an end to death forever.(Isaiah 25:8) I hope that these scriptures can help all in grief. And for more information about the dead and the hope for them feel free to visit our website at www.jw.org.

I was a co-worker of Ardith's at the Madison Schools for several years, and after retirement I would occasionally see Ardith at retirees get-togethers. She was so knowledgeable about a variety of subjects, and I always enjoyed spending time in her presence. I know she was a wonderful mother and grandmother to you all, and she was so proud of your accomplishments. My deepest sympathy in your loss; I know Ardith is gigling her way across Heaven as we speak!

I was a co-worker with Ardith for several years. She was a joy to work with; very thorough
honest and sincere. She shared her experiences of her many travels. Ardith was always open to new experiences and was very accomplished in learning new things. She was a very devoted Mother/Grandmother/Greatgrandmother and was so proud of everyone of her family. She will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her. May it give you peace to know that she is now with the Father. With Sincere Sympathy. Marcia A. Himes, Madison, WI

Ardy was our neighbor for about 20 years. We could not have asked for a sweeter person to live next to us! She shared so many of her experiences with us, she was a joy to talk with. Our condolences to Jean and Diane and the family for their loss. Hardy was a wonderful lady! We will miss her!

Dear Jeannie,
I remember your mother for her kindness to me during my high school years, which were so difficult for me. She truly had a kind heart.
